MicroLesson: 015 – Blues Guitar Lesson – Blues Turnaround in A

Description

In this MicroLesson (ML015), learn how to play a blues turnaround in the key of A. There are no open strings in this turnaround so you can easily transpose it to any key (I’ll show you how). You can use this as part of a lead, an intro, or turnaround.

    I like it cause it directly leads me into a 5 minute solo in the same key. What FUN.

    This one’s great because it definitely takes the player out of the realm of “usual” turn arounds and into the world of SRV and others!! Nice job, Brian!!
